We did this out of the need to inform the government about issues it rarely hears about and move them towards solving them.


It helps to stimulate social responsibility in the state and makes all the residents stakeholders. There are several issues that barely get the attention of the State Government, this sort of issues can be resolved once it gets to the notice of the responsible authorities. The site also incorporates Google Maps so that places that are being reported can be accurately located.
The kinds of issues that can be reported are dangerous buildings, bad roads, flood, potholes, bad traffic lights, electricity, road lighting, no street names, emergencies such as fire outbreaks and accidents.
